Even b’ar killers need protection, Master Crockett.
Seven million youngsters got the first Salk polio vaccine
in 1955. Your March of Dimes funds developed this vac
cine, tested it, provided the first shots within days after
it was proclaimed safe and effective. Now, March of
Dimes research is making it even more effective. But we
must still remember those, bom too soon to be protected
by the vaccine, who still need care and those tens of
thousands who will be stricken in polio epidemics before
the vaccine is made even more effective.

TO GEORGIA CO UNTIES
Johnson County
OLD UNION SINGING Ajpi
CONVENTION
Perhaps because Johnson County is such a pleasant,
prosperous example of a typical Georgia farm county,
it is a center for country music singing. The annual Old
Union Singing Convention, once held at Idylwiid Park
near Johnson County Seat Wrightsville, meets again in
Johnson County this June. Thousands have attended
annually for 50 years. The old Parsons plantation, one
of Georgia’s largest and most beautiful, lies on the banks
of the Oconee River in Johnson.
In Johnson County and throughout Georgia, the
U.S. Brewers Foundation works constantly to assure
the sale of beer and ale under pleasant, orderly condi
tions. Believing that strict law enforcement serves the
best interests of the people of Georgia, the Foundation
stresses close cooperation with the Armed Forces, law
enforcement and governing officials in its continuing
"self-regulation” program.

School Board
Member Cannot
Be Commissioner
A member of a county board
of education is ineligible to seek
the office of county commissioner
unless he resigns the school board
post, Attorney General Eugene
Cook has held in ass unofficial
opinion issued to W. W. Brooks
of Camilla.
Mr. Cook based his ruling upon
the Georgia law which provides
that no person can hold more
than one county office at the
same time.
“Memberships on the county
board of education and the office
of county commissioner of roads
and revenues are both county of
fices,” he wrote. “Since you are
at present a member of the coun
ty board of education, it is my
opinion that you are ineligible
to offer for office of county com
missioner of roads and revenues
unless you resign from member
ship on the county board of ed
ucation.”
